Description

Discover how a little bit of kindness can bring an entire community together in a crisis.

The frog family love their home on the riverbank, but they know to always stay away from the old tree stump--because a Big Scary Thing lives in there. When a huge storm comes and his friends and family are swept away, Little Frog is blown right into the terrifying stump . . . but what he finds inside changes his life forever. This is a story of kindness, community, and coming together in a time of crisis from award-winning author and illustrator Chris Naylor-Ballesteros.

Critical Reviews

"Naylor-Ballesteros' illustrations embody suspense . . . . [A] rousing and relevant example of working in community to help everyone, without exception, when they need it."--Booklist
